This is good and cool.

If your goal is to create something you enjoy, do not labor over the process of how you do that, try everything, be a kid again, simply lose yourself in the joy of that thing, even if it contains "using ai" it's not a bad thing, it's merely another tool, like your DAW or photoshop.

Also, lastly, have fun, be frustrated, get angry, be excited, be mad.

Making music is fun, you don't have to make the process harder.

If you want to make money, good luck.

How do they tell? Because they're awful? Some of them might be good. And many, if not most, songs created by unknown artists are terrible.

Grifters' gonna grift. The streaming indy pop world is toast.

On the other hand, this does seem to be rekindling, at least somewhat, an interest in people going to see small shows of real people making music. Which was historically what music was about for the vast majority of our human history. Mass market pop as a viable business was a particularly 20th century anomaly.

And oddly, in people buying real vinyl by real people.

The funny thing about AI is counterintuitive. It will put an even higher value on quality as quantity is now essentially worthless. I don’t believe AI can generate high quality on its own. It needs to be used and manipulated to generate higher quality outputs than a human or AI alone can.

I've had to change my video and music consumption habits, because I fall asleep fairly often with either music or videos playing in the background (bad habit, I know). I'm always sure to switch to a playlist running locally when I get tired, because I'll be damned if someone's slop is going to get monetized while I sleep and the algorithm starts sneaking that crap in.

Great job guys! Almost halfway there! Keep working hard and we can make it to 100%!

Remember: AI use is mandatory and non-negotiable. Hopefully the Trump administration will be rolling out AI-use metrics for the whole population, so we can track progress against our goals.

Of course, it takes 2 seconds to shit out an ai song. I'm surprised it isn't way higher

"97% of participants couldn’t tell the difference between fully AI-generated music and human-made music."

... And most streams are fraudulent.

I'm not sure I'd care if AI generated music was competing against my own organic music, but having the stream-reward diluted down by bots is actually hurting artists.
